Perishables Shipping

Frozen & Refridgerated Item Shipping Charleston

Shipping perishables is a complicated process when compared to standard shipping. Examples of perishables include seafood, dairy, meat, fruits, vegetables and plants. We only work with reliable carriers, such as DHL, Estes, FedEx, UPS, and YRC via air, road, and ocean to ensure your package arrives just as fresh as the day it was shipped. If you are interest in shipping perishables or if you have any packing and shipping questions, don't hesitate to contact us.

At Pak Mail, we want your delectable morsel to arrive fresh so here are a few tips to consider:

It is best to ship perishables, such as baked goods, meat or fruit, on Monday, Tuesday or Wednesday.

Whenever possible, ship perishables for next-day delivery to minimize time in transit. Avoid shipping perishables on a Thursday or Friday, or else the package may suffer extreme temperatures for as many as four days.

Keep items refrigerated or frozen until just prior to bringing it in to Pak Mail. Bring in a few frozen gel packs with the goodies to keep them cool. We may be able to place the item in our in-store refrigerator for storage until courier pick-up.

Freeze cakes, including cheesecakes and layer cakes, before shipping to keep it solid. Wrap the frozen cake in plastic wrap and then in aluminum foil to help keep it cold.

Despite precautions, icing may smear and decorations may become crushed in transit.
